In a report released today, Daniel Kurnos from Benchmark Co. maintained a Hold rating on Cars com Inc (CARS). The company’s shares closed yesterday at $23.16.
Kurnos observed:
“We are cutting our numbers to reflect what we believe is closer to a realistic medium-term forecast given the recent dealer attrition, which should also provide a better middle-of-the-road scenario for valuation purposes. While we do see the potential for a sale in the high $20 to low $30 range, we believe the buyer pool could be limited by Cars’ lack of growth, with an ultimate sale to either a strategic or private equity far from a certain thing.”
